This very important building in the history of Nuoro is located at the foot of Mount Ortobene. Since 1956 it has kept the remains of the Nobel Prize-winning writer Grazia Deledda. The current building dates back to 1957 and was made based on a design by the Nuoro-born artist Giovanni Ciusa Romagna on the site where the ancient church once stood (1625). It has the typical architectural features of rural churches. In the interior, with a single nave, we find a Way of the Cross, a bas-relief, a crucifix and some candlesticks made by Eugenio Tavolara based on designs by Giovanni Ciusa Romagna. In the apse there is a panel by the sculptor Gavino Tilocca. The bronze door, depicting Our Lady of Solitude, was sculpted by the Sassari-born artist Eugenio Tavolara. It features three Marian engravings: one depicting Our Lady of Sorrows wrapped in a long cloak; the second the Virgin Mary holding the Child in her arms, a typical representation of the Virgin of Itria, whose cult was present in Nuoro until last century; finally, the third image is a simple Madonna and Child surrounded by angels. A statue of Our Lady of Sorrows is housed inside it.
